Brain Features Tied to Personality in Chronic Daily Headache Is personality a modifiable risk factor for CDH?

Patients experiencing chronic daily headache (CDH) have regions of higher volumes of the amygdalae, the structures in the brain's temporal lobes that are involved in many emotions and motivations, according to research presented here. Moreover, the study linked amygdala volumes to specific personality features, leading the investigators to suggest that the coping strategies patients adopt may eventually translate to altered brain structure. http://www.medpagetoday.com/clinical-context/Migraines/60970?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2016-10-24&eun=g721819d0r&pos=1
